This bill amends the definition of "survivor" in Section 595.010, RSMo, dealing with crime victim compensation. The bill also specifies that, in the case of death, a victim's survivor requiring counseling as a direct result of the death of the victim may apply for compensation in Missouri if certain factors are met.
Currently, compensation may not exceed $400 per week and no award may exceed $25,000. This bill increases those amounts to up to $500 per week and no more than a total of $30,000.
This bill is the same as HB 932 (2023).
